What size vivs do you guys use? Am contemplating getting rid of my exo terra viv and going for a 2 stack wooden viv that would actually take up the same amount of space. I was just wondering if I'd need a 3 of 4 foot viv for when Izzy gets full size.

I've bought a VX36 (3 foot) ready for when mine are big enough to go in seperate vivs. The partitioned one they are in at the mo is custom built and the same length and depth as the VX36,just not quite as tall.

It will depend on how big your snake grows, how active the snake is and how much it comes out. On average a 3 or 4 foot viv would normally be fine.
It's one of those questions that depends on the individual snake for an answer!

A 3x2x2 is perfect for a cornsnake really but again depends on how big your cornsnake grows i think if over 5ft best to go for a nice 4ft viv so it has the ability to stretch out and climb with out feeling like it has no room to.

Thanks your input guys. Izzy should be fine in her viv for quite some time.

I've just got to make a decision now... whether to get 2 wooden 3ft vivs and move Izzy into one and get a royal for the second or to just get the 1 wooden and put it under Izzys exo terra. Hmmm! Can't afford a royal for a while so I guess I've got lots of time to make a decision! Not sure if I could part with the exo terra but it is huge!
